Dear Mr. Brooks:
Below are VDOT's comments on the Site Plans for the April 18r'', 2013 Site Review Committee Meeting:
SDP - 2013 -00008 Cingular Wireless/ Greenmont Farm (Scott Clark)
1. A land use permit will be required for construction within the right of way.
2. Proposed entrance site will need to be reviewed by a VDOT Land Development permit inspector.
SP- 2013 -00007 Cingular Wireless/ Pace Property Tier III Personal Wireless Facility (Sarah

1. A land use permit will be required for construction within right of way.
2. Proposed entrance site will need to be reviewed by a VDOT Land Development permit inspector.
SUB - 2013 -00043 Briarwood Commercial Lot — Preliminary Subdivision Plat & Private Road
(Chris Perez)
1. Lengths of the deceleration lanes should be calculated based on the design speed of the road
2. Acceleration lane is not necessary for entrance.
3. A median that prevents left turn ingress movements should be used instead of the large right -in,
right -out triangular entrance median. The egress lane should meet Seminole Trail straight on and
have a stop sign and stop bar.
4. Shoulder should meet VDOT Road Design Manual GS -1 Standards including minimum shoulder
width of 13ft with 8ft paved shoulder and minimum width of ditch front slope of l Oft.
5. Detailed road plans will need to be submitted for the entrance.
5t'' Street Station (Megan Yaniglos)
Typical Section
1. Shoulder should meet VDOT Road Design Manual GS -7 standards.
2. A paved shoulder should be used rather than a gravel shoulder to prevent stones from obstructing
bike lane.
3. VDOT suggests using curb and gutter instead of shoulder along the road for permanent typical
section.
4. Geometry should allow for a 16ft median for potential expansion to 4 -lane road in the future.
General
5. Raised medians should be used rather than painted medians.
6. Road geometry cannot be accurately assessed due to through lanes not meeting up with center
line. Provide a center line for currently proposed section of road.
7. Show curb ramps on sidewalk.
8. Entrances from Bent Creek Road to parking and retail areas need to meet minimum throat length
standards.
9. Entrances should be consolidated at the new intersection of Bent Creek Road and Avon Street.
10. Permits will be required for grading on I -64. Applicants should be in touch with necessary
parties as soon as possible.
11. Road and drainage plans need to be provided and reviewed.
If you have any questions, please contact me.
